Nowalka must be crazy dragging Lewandowski in many occasions as a No.10 or even the wings, that Milik guy can't link up with anybody how the hell he is considered a top talent? Unfortunately for Lewy his team is an exceptional defensive one but doesn't have a single creative midfielder, only Jakub and Pisczek can provide a good cross or assist. Lewandowski looks in a bad shape, his fatigue has hit the maximum. Great penalty kick though!

Go and read every other player ratings article from the last month and you will find the same story about these two. Absolutely nothing but scraps to work with for Lewandowski, and no Raum to Deut for Müller. Müller came on as a second-half substitute on 70′. While his starting from the bench was a source of considerable, understandable point of criticism, one struggles to think about what impact he would have made on this game.

It is almost worse that Pep Guardiola may have conceded that reality, reflected in his decision not to start the lanky German. The wingers did not pull their head up on a single Bayern counter. When a cross was sent in, it was so poor that defenders had no work to do to clear it. In that last respect, this was a worse game for Lewandowski. He recently had to fight off four or five defenders, but nothing got that far this time around.

You can disagree ofc but your opinion is a serious minority and the more Costa tried to mimic Robben and Vidal got into the box etc, everybody trying to be a hero, the more Muller and Lewy deteriorated. Not saying it's inherently wrong or sth to have a varied attack but you just can't have everybody bar Neuer shooting at goal and best service to strikers in the world the same time.
